Key points 1. This is the first report of adult primary herpetic oropharyngitis in the view point of the differences between the two types of herpes simplex virus (HSV). 2. 41 (25 type 1 and 16 type 2) HSV specific antigen positive cases among 68 immunoserologically confirmed adult HSV primary infection cases were investigated. 3. Significantly low incidence of oral lesions and high incidence of nausea were seen in HSV type 2 oropharyngitis cases, that might mean particular correlation vagus nerve and HSV type 2. 4. Significantly increased white blood cell count and high C-reacative protein value were seen in oropharyngitis by HSV type 2. 5. HSV type 2 possibly cause more severe symptoms and higher inflammatory reactions than type 1, without oral lesions.

Numerous viruses have been described as potential causes of acute arthritides.1-3 Recently, herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I has been implicated as a possible etiologic agent in acute arthritis in adults.4-6 The purpose here is to review evidence of the role of herpes viruses in acute arthritis and to report the isolation of HSV from the synovial fluid of a child with arthritis. CASE REPORT A 6-year-old of Mexican descent was admitted to the hospital because of the acute onset of pain and swelling in her light knee. The patients had been well until four days prior to admission when she developed fever and painful oral lesions.

Shedding of herpesvirus by adults with herpes labialis and survival of the virus in the environment were examined. In nine adults with virus-positive herpes labialis, herpesvirus was detected in the anterior oral pool of seven (78%) and on the hands of six (67%). Herpesviruses isolated from patients with oral lesions were found to survive for as long as two hours on skin, three hours on cloth, and four hours on plastic. These findings support earlier recommendations for the protection of neonates from adults with "fever blisters." In addition, environmental surfaces may be a source of transmission of herpesvirus to the neonate.
